PTI Delays Intra-Party Polls Amid Security Woes

PTI postponed its intra-party polls due to security concerns and member feedback, opting for post-election scheduling.

The Supreme Court earlier deemed the party’s internal elections unconstitutional, leading members to run independently in upcoming elections, risking horse-trading. An online shift for a key meeting was prompted by an alleged police raid on PTI premises, which police refuted.

Despite logistical challenges and legal hurdles, PTI aims for digital intra-party voting. However, the Election Commission of Pakistan’s stance remains a significant obstacle, with PTI’s recognition and symbol at stake. PTI continues to prepare and extend nomination form submissions for its members.
